Tinpan Orange will be releasing their fifth studio album Love Is A Dogthis Friday, April 8. Love Is A Dog is a complex, luscious offering from this seasoned trio. Opulent string arrangements, intricate guitar hooks and unforgettable vocal melodies from lead vocalist Emily Lubitz all dictate the dark, rambling nature of the record. In light of the fast-approaching release, Emily enthuses, ‘We’ve been working on this album for so long with so many great people and we are very excited to get it out into the world…we can't wait to share these new babies with our fans on tour.’ ​

To support the new LP that was produced by the band in collaboration with Harry James Angus (The Cat Empire, Jackson Jackson) and mixed by the renowned Adam Selzer (M.Ward, She & Him, Jolie Holland), Tinpan Orange will hit the road for a full lap of the map in April and May. Enthusiastic about the current lineup of the band, Emily explains, “We are enjoying playing as a trio at the moment...I like singing in that space and I love to hear Alex (Burkoy) fill some of the spaces with his strings. Our shows are intimate, and when I'm feeling safe and sound, I will tell a few stories and share some thoughts…and Alex might even tell a joke!”

The highly anticipated release will be celebrated with an in-store performance and signing by the band at Melbourne’s renowned Polyester Records, alongside 100 limited edition vinyl copies of the album that will be available for sale at the event. Tinpan Orange will also be embarking upon an extensive national album tour, kicking off with a performance at the Fairbridge Folk Festival in Western Australian on April 16, moving through Tasmania, Melbourne, Mullumbimby, Brisbane, Sydney, Darwin, Fremantle and finishing up in Adelaide on June 5.
